Therapists in Manitou Springs, CO

Life has thrown so much at you and you are scrambling to keep up with the chaos. Maybe your story, body, or mind feels like a mess. Maybe you are barely getting through it. One minute you are focused and competent, the next you are freaking out in the bathroom, hiding from your co-workers. Out of nowhere, you can't deal with life the way you used to. It's just not working anymore. You don't know what to do. Trying harder isn't working.

Hi, I am Jennifer. My work with clients is transparent and holistic. My ideal client is looking to make positive changes in their and committed to personal growth and healing. I support and empower clients struggling with a history of trauma; grief/loss; perinatal; chronic illness/pain; those experiencing high anxiety; clients that are highly sensitive and empathic; or those who are simply feeling the weight of life stressors and transitions. I have a deep understanding of various religious backgrounds and offer Christian perspective if requested. Additionally, I am compassionate with military, spouses, and Gold Star families.

Hello and welcome to The Center for Secure Attachment. Navigating through different seasons can be difficult and present unique challenges that, at times, might require additional guidance and support.

I love to work with individuals age 15 and older and I have experience treating a wide variety of presenting issues and needs. I believe this job is privilege and it would be my honor to sit across from you, hear your story, and collaborate with you as you navigate your own path to wholeness!

I have deep passion for helping individuals on their journey to healing, I specialize in working with those who are motivated to overcome complex trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, and personality disorders. I believe in the power of experiential therapy and the transformational potential of Narrative therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and ADEP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy). These therapeutic approaches form the cornerstone of our practice, guiding my clients toward a more profound understanding of their inner worlds and the narratives that shape their lives.

In the process of learning to love yourself, your body, and others there is no such thing as setbacks. What we think is a setback is a growing point, a learning point to lead us further in our relationship with ourselves and others. I would love to work with you navigating those areas of growth, while also seeing the strengths you already possess. It takes such courage to start looking for help. I will seek to empower you in this process and allow for healing and change.

We, as humans, have an incredible potential for growth, but we often find life difficult; we feel stuck, alone, and uncertain. I believe that when we work through the hard things, we can find healing. I strive to create counseling relationships based on safety, trust, and hope, where people are accepted and challenged to grow in new and meaningful ways. I believe counseling is an opportunity to work through pain and suffering, develop resiliency which can be carried forward into life, and experience healing, freedom, purpose, and self-acceptance.

I accept Medicaid (all CO Medicaid Programs), BCBS/Anthem, Cigna, and Aetna! You're feeling stuck. Never good enough. Stressed. You've experienced events that have impacted your self-worth, confidence, and ability to trust yourself or others. You re-play events from the past in your mind or feel anxious about the future. You're feeling "sick and tired of being sick and tired" and life feels unmanageable. You're ready to take your power back. I commonly work with clients whose lives have been touched by alcohol and substance use, trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, and grief.

On the outside, it may look like you have it all together - the job, the family, the appearance. But on the inside you feel consumed by stress, anxiety, and perfectionism. You may have troubled intimate relationships, negative thoughts, and issues with eating and sleeping. Life may feel overwhelming and unfulfilling - like you can never get enough done or be "good enough." While your anxiety shows that you are someone who cares deeply, this stress can be harmful to your mind, body, and relationships in the long term. You wish for more joy, peace, and ease in your life and are ready to explore yourself more deeply to find it.

We need to feel to heal. I believe this to be true, and I’m also aware of how much easier said than done this process is. For many of us, disconnecting from our emotions, needs, and desires is how we’ve learned to protect ourselves from feeling the full weight of painful experiences in our life. I help teens and adults who have experienced trauma of any kind break free from these protective measures and begin to heal from trauma and its lingering effects. For my clients, these effects often show up as anxiety, depression, PTSD, self-harm, relationship difficulties, or a combo of all of the above.

Are you looking to deepen a healthy relationship, rejuvenate a worn-out one, or save one before it ends prematurely? How do you know if you need help? Contact me for a free phone consultation and we can discuss your concerns. We all want a safe, secure loving relationship but sometimes we need help. I can help you work through a difficult situation. Whether you are suffering from mild depression or more complex challenging problems we will work together as a team to identify and solve problems

We specialize in treating trauma, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, grief, stress, end of life issues, identity issues and adjustments/transitions. The healing process of therapy can result in an increase in self-esteem, an improved outlook, a greater sense of control or calmness, decreased pain and better self understanding.

Experiences of anxiety, depression, and trauma take a massive toll on our lives and relationships, often leaving us feeling out of control, disconnected, and dissatisfied. However, I believe that healing is not only possible, but is something that we are naturally moving toward, even when it doesn't feel that way. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can reconnect to that natural impulse toward healing.

It takes courage to begin counseling. To explore your present struggles and past experiences and find hope, connection and passion for life. If you are curious about engaging your story and beliefs; want to learn to listen to the wisdom of your body and attune to the sensations and emotions that move you, please reach out. We all need a place to safely explore and I would be honored to join you in this. I am passionate about accompanying you in moving towards wholeheartedness; believing that healing relationships are an integral way forward into restoration and growth.

Are you a healthcare professional, therapist, bodyworker, educator, leader, parent, and/or sensitive and caring human wanting to become more present and integrated so that you can fully show up in your life? My practice is rooted in body centered trauma approaches, neuroscience, mindfulness and compassion practices, attachment theory, and nervous system regulation. Our work will support you to understand your history, reconnect to the innate wisdom of your internal experience and body, and transform your pain and challenges (like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges) into growth, meaning, and resilience.

My style is compassionate yet direct, soft yet forceful. I combine traditional talk therapy with somatic therapy (i.e., therapy involving awareness and work with the body). I have a background working in the corporate world and understand the challenges unique to that space. I trained at the California Institute of Integral Studies and incorporate not only that training but my years of post-graduate education and time spent studying different energetic and intuitive healing techniques into the work I do with you.
